Alumni Connect at Common Ground in New York City and Boston College

April 9, 2025

President Jeb Myers and VP for Admissions and Advancement Sean Van Gemert ‘96 recently traveled to New York City to meet alumni from all three schools: Cretin, Derham Hall, and Cretin-Derham Hall! 

Highlights of their trip included an alumni reception and social at Common Ground in Manhattan on April 8. Alumni and friends enjoyed connecting and had the opportunity to meet with Jeb and Sean and hear about the exciting news happening at CDH. The following day, Jeb and Sean met with CDH alumni attending Boston College.

Cretin-Derham Hall alums shared that they enjoyed the opportunity to connect with others at the event. Alum Christina Gutierrez-Williams '11 noted that "it was such a great time! The turnout was perfect; people were having great conversations - it was a huge success!"   

CDH is committed to creating opportunities for alumni and friends to reconnect and celebrate their shared history. Previous events include visits to Palm Desert, California , Naples, Florida, and Arizona. Another event is coming up in Chicago on April 23.
